There is so much Eighties goodness in that video, it just blows my mind.
Thank you PalJoey!

With all this talk of Alice Ripley's off-stage craziness, I would love to see her as Margaret White.

People crab about the bitchiness of people like Michael Reidel, but I loved the olden days where reviewers WOULD go for the jugular when a show was a piece of crap. Now any cavalcade of bad buzz and mediocre songs can sputter across the country and park on Broadway for MONTHS.

Actually, those are the London rehearsals which took place prior to their London mounting which was BEFORE the show came to Broadway.
After the "Do Me a Favor" sequence, Barbara Cook is briefly seen rehearsing with Linzi. Barbara Cook played Margaret White during the London incarnation of the musical. Betty Buckley took over the role for its Broadway incarnation.
Also, in the "Out for Blood" dance break rehearsal with Charlotte, you can spot Scott Wise and Joey McKneely among the guys.

The first reviewer here is my favorite - I love the part where he points out that the only furniture in the house was one chair

my favorite quotes-
"It's Bye, Bye Birdie gone bonkers"
"It's Grease meets Slime, Slime wins"
"Pig, Pig, Blood, Blood, Pig, Pig, Blood"
"You could take the money, and through it"
"One simply wants to hide when Carrie and Mama sing a screaming duet about menstruation"
And not to be mean, but why do Linzi's eyes look so strange in those videos?

This song...quite guilty pleasure for me. It's so catchy. The choreography, like everything else in the final production, is mind-boggling irrelevant.

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Charlotte D'Amboise, Sally Ann Triplett & Linzi Hateley... wow all 3 have moved on to be the leading ladies of Broadway & West End. And weirdly enough I think all 3 of them still have the voice AND the dancing abilities! AND all 3 are Roxies! Wudnt it be great if they can all be in a reunion of some sort!

That they should....

This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Ahhh, Sherlock Brody, of course that's Barbara Cook there, so of course it's London.

Sally Ann Triplett & Linzi Hateley
And Sally Ann recently replaced Linzi in the West End's MAMMA MIA
I'd love for these two talents to return to Broadway in some form!

You're absolutely right but you do know that to most Americans... anywhere in the UK is always referenced as London.
So to many, CARRIE had its World Premiere in London.
Period.
Now... to be exact, CARRIE World Premiered at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England, which is quite some distance from London.

One of my biggest theatrical regrets is not seeing Carrie on Broadway when I had the opportunity to. I opted to see Chess instead that night.

I think my favorite part of ALL of these bootlegs clips is Charlotte D'Amboise's dance break in "In." I don't care how bad the show is, girl is fierce.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

I never understood all of the unneeded pelvic thrusting in the choreography for this show. It's like they're raping the air or something.
